Pungent smell from Aquahot
We picked up a new Dynaquest XL on August 27th from the dealer. Did a very thorough PDI but did not run the Aquahot. Took a short trip and now have the rig in our side yard getting ready to store it in November with no trips planned.
When the Aquahot unit reaches temperature, it emits a very strong pungent smell. Had a certified mobile tech look at it and the smell appears to be coming from a rubber hose next to the burner unit. For the moment, we decided to run the unit (thermostats on) for the next week or so to see if the unit will "burn off" the smell.
The XL did sit on Dynamax's lot for 4 months waiting for parts to finish.
I am in contact with Aquahot to see what their engineers/techs might offer as a solution. In the interim, has anyone encountered this before? The unit sits under the bedroom so the smell inside is quite annoying.
Thanks for any insights. Joe.
